Which Gnome settings exactly?

I usually run fluxbox but I logged into Gnome now to test this.

In Nautilus 2.8.2 selecting a .doc, .xls or .rtf file allows me to open
it in OpenOffice so apparently the MIME settings are correct. However in
evolution I only get the "save as" option for the very same documents!

A .ppt  and a .PPS file I received a while ago does show the option
"open in OpenOffice.org Impress". And more strangely a .xls file I
received a long time ago does show the option "Open in OpenOffice.org
Calc".

I find this behaviour very strange but perhaps anybody here can give me
an explanation (and possibly a way to fix this?)...

TIA

Bram
